Vehicle Carrier ServicesACTIVE

Class Actions are underway across Canada which allege overcharges for Roll On Roll Off ocean freight shipping of vehicles, bought or leased during that time.

Class action lawsuits have been brought across Canada against 20 international Roll On/Roll Off shipping companies.

All British Columbia resident persons who, during the Class Period commencing February 1, 1997 and December 1, 2012, purchased Vehicle Carrier Services, including as part of the cost of the purchase or lease of a new car, may have overpaid for the cost of those services.

“Vehicle Carrier Services” means paid international ocean shipping services via roll on/roll off vessels (“RoRo”) of cargo, such as new and used cars and trucks, as well as agricultural, construction and mining equipment (collectively “Vehicles”). A “RoRo” is a type of ocean vessel that allows wheeled vehicles to be driven on and off the vessel and parked on its decks for ocean transport. It is alleged that among other things, customers were overcharged for Vehicle Carrier Services as the defendants participated in an unlawful conspiracy to fix, raise, maintain, increase, or control the price for Vehicle Carrier Services.
